The sad thing about Reborn is the fact that they'd just hit the biggest arc when they discontinued it. Hopefully it'll get some reprints and a possible remake/continuation of the anime.
OMG REBORN!!!! I'm obsessed with that story and my manga collection is incomplete without it. I want it to be reprinted so bad. I'd prefer the tankoban format so I could have all 42 covers, but I'd be happy with the 2 in 1's. Gimme something Viz!
I read most of Reborn (up to the middle of the future arc) as it was released via scans. I was a broke college kid when they published it, so I never got to read it, but I would love to get a 21 v set of 2 in 1s. I loved how vastly different everyone's fighting style was, which reminded me of One Piece a bit, but also that they had to train in different ways depending on their style and they really came together as a group of friends. Plus you can really feel that Tsuna crawled so that Midoriya could run.
I want Reborn to reprint the whole series ! I also want them to sell more Figures aswell ! Would also love to see the same voice actors finishing the rest of the anime ! I really enjoyed the arcs that weren't animated
Yeah! I was such a fan of the voice actors that I even went to the third reborn concert. It'd be great to see the last bit animated... I only remember there being a vomic...
Act-age was the saddest one. It had such an amazing premise and art, the characters where also unique and lovable. It had so much potential, but the author ruined everything.
I read all 42 volumes (409 chapters) of the Reborn manga, very good story and characters. The quality of the story went a little bit downhill with the last 2 arcs but still was good and entertaining. Also wow, remember watching Beet the Vandal buster anime back in 2004, had completely forgotten about that lol.
Reborn’s been a personal favorite of mine for so long. Yes the story dipped in quality in later arcs but I would really love to have the entire story in physical form
act-age was quickly becoming one of my fav manga of all time, i wish the writer wasnt an awful person. even though i loved it, the illustrator did the right thing in the end by not continuing it
been one year and the pain never ends. Fuck Matsuki 4L. tbh I never fully read it but I know it was gonna be the next big thing alongside JJK and CSM. Mad potential. smh
Reborn! Yes! This has always been one of my favorite anime that no one I know has ever watched so there's never been anyone for me to share it with. Glad to see others also enjoyed this series.
I'd really love a reprint of Reborn. I had the first several volumes, but when I found out it was discontinued I got rid of them. I'd also be interested in Gintama. I never read it, but I've always wanted to. Since you have such a large collection, I think it'd be interesting to hear about your experience with print errors. I've noticed them cropping up in my manga a lot recently and I've been wondering if you run into them a lot with how much manga you have.
Strawberry 100% is a great harem manga. The development and relatability of the characters are the strong points of the series. I have all 14 English volumes and 2 Japanese Bunko volumes. I wish Viz would have released those last 5 volumes even if they wouldn't sell well. I am sure even if a series was not selling well nowadays, Viz would be more inclined to finish a series if it was that close to being completed.
I would love to see Reborn, Gintama, and Beet the Vandlebuster come back some day. Reborn is the only one of the three I've read any of, but I absolutely loved it. That series has such a charming and fun cast of characters and I want to see the rest of their stories. I'd also like to see how Tsuna develops as the story goes along. I didnt like him at all in the start, but he grew on me by the time I stopped reading the series.
I was reading Act Age for a while when it first started. A damn shame what happened. Definitely made the right call. However, my Beet vol. 2 came in the mail today, so this was a perfect time to watch. So happy to be reading and collecting this series again. Would love to see it come back.
Love to see chapter breaks or bigger graphics when you move to the next series so we can refer to each series easier. Thanks great channel and love you on TikTok.
i've been waiting over a decade for Beet the vandel buster to comeback and you're telling me they got it ongoing in japan. i've got to learn japanese now, because i loved that series
Fun note is that Reborn is also in the Manga Plus app, but it's in Spanish. Reborn and Gintama I want to see brought back as I've been watching them both on Crunchroll. Beet and Bobobo would be cool too as I've read some of them.
A few months ago I compiled a list of series that came out under the Shonen Jump imprint. I was pretty shocked to find so many of them were... long, despite not being super hot and how few of them were dropped And it seems like half of the dropped titles.... were fan favorites. It's a bit stunning to this day they haven't finished up Gintama or Bobobo despite being fan favorites, especially since digital only releases or app exclusive releases are on the table now
So glad you mention bo-bobo that shit was crazy! I remember being a 10 year old fan of the anime in Sweden ordering viz's run and being absolutely fucking confused. They changed some of the names from the dub but kept others consistent, too, it was a mess!
Would be nice to see more of Beet, and Reborn. Also with the Bleach anime series coming back for final arc would be nice to see the final 2 arcs as of now to be animated.
Beet the Vandel Buster is a great read for shonen fans. It starts sort of bland, but it really gets going after the first few chapters. The anime was ok, but way to long with filler, even though some of the episodes had great animation. Would recommend 8/10
I remember Kurohime being advertised in almost every Viz manga I've ever read in the late 2000s. It always looked interesting. I believe even my high school library had it but never got around to read it because they had so many more manga at the time.
I went into a Barnes and Noble and found that they actually had the first 5 volumes of Gintama, I love the anime so i picked up the first one. I really hope they bring it back, so I can start collecting the whole thing.
I think the reason Gintama just didn't get that popular was most likely due to the fact that as popular as manga is, most manga that sold well enough in America were thanks to their anime adaptations being popular. Gintama's anime not only didn't have a dub but more importantly it never aired on US TV (which shit on TV and dubs all you want The Big 3's initial popularity was thanks to them having dubs and airing on TV) and even IF people got into it most fans at the time watched anime that weren't episodic and had epic continuing stories, something Gintama wouldn't have for hundreds of chapters/episodes. Obviously now most know how good Gintama is, but it's just one of those series that America wasn't ready for when it came out.
@@happyglassesgirll4742 There are actually 3 English dubs. There's the fist movie, then in 2017 there was a dub of the season from 2015, and then in late 2019 the first 49 episodes got a new dub on Hulu. The 2015 season's dub is genuinely good and I will stand by that. The other two dubs you're correct about and are bad.
Also from the fact that some jokes required knowledge of Japanese history, pop culture or even just understanding the language (various puns, tongue twisters, etc) which would not have been easy to translate to a western audience.
@@tt18sp94 I do think there're enough jokes in Gintama that make it still funny for a western audience. I still think the biggest problem is the fact that it was an episodic anime and came out at a time where all of the Big 3 anime had the caveat of "Just wait till "X" amount of episodes then it gets good" with Gintama that "X" amount of episodes being like over 100
I really enjoyed this video and I do believe some of these would definitely come back with the boom in the popularity of manga and the general increase sales number in general. I would say they aren’t going to get these titles back real soon because of printing logistics during this pandemic. Hopefully all goes well very soon and they would be in a situation that allows the releases to be printed adequately.
Out of these I’d definitely want Gintama to continue. It’s not Shounen Jump but I’d definitely want Saiyuki Reload to be re-released. They literally had one more book to release in English. One! They brought back Saiyuki as a deluxe recently so hopefully they’ll do the rest.
Here in Italy, Act-Age 4 had already been printed and scheduled to be released in September, but the publisher (J-Pop) decided to discontinue the series immediately, have the copies pulped and stop selling/distributing volumes 1-3.
Im pretty sure it went out of print long ago not because it was cancelled but because no one knew of its existence but a manga called cirque du freak in enjoyed reading it my 8th grade year and recently found the spanish raws so i can finally finish it
I have fond memories of Kurohime. I never finished it but I guess I'll be doing that now. Thanks for bringing back those memories I really remember enjoying it as a kid.
As a teen growing up, the monthly release of Strawberry 100% at my favorite Borders were something I always look forward to, since manga was my way to splurge. When I did notice that vol. 15 didn't get released as scheduled, I thought it was just something that they have missed and it will be back next month. I waited for another 3 months to realize that the series got canceled and it just got me very depressed. I still own these volumes till this day, as well as the only vol 15 that was released outside of Japan, the German Vol. 15. Somewhere deep down, I really hope that they will release the last 5 volumes in English for me to finally complete the missing set.
Its a shame that viz hasnt reprinted these titles in years, hopefully they can do so one day. I also hope one day we will get physical english prints of mangas like medaka box, beezlubeb from the 2000s. There's also some 80s and 90s ones that need a localisation i think
Damn, Kurohime was such a great series. A females Dark Schneider or Demon Eyes Kyo, who fights against the Gods and finds love along the way. The art was top tier. Even though it was rushed, the ending was satisfying enough. Psyren is the true unspoken tragedy of Shounen a truly iconic series that never got its flowers. Should have gotten an anime adaption.
This could just be me, but I feel like maybe test the waters with a digital-only release and see if the numbers are there. Have the chapters free but if enough read?
Reborn is great! Only problem i had with it was the end. Some extra chapters and actually being decisive would have been good. I have read a lot of manga and watched even more anime and Reborn is one series im planning to add to my shelf.
Man it has so much potential if it wasn't axed. The origin of the Rings, expanded techniques for the power system, more powerful mafia families to fight, etc etc
I was interested in picking up bo bo bo , as learning material because contextually the situations are weird, but I think it would be easier to read in Japanese. I haven't even thought about the English release, like a collected edition, or a couple would be pretty interesting.
I remember seeing Act Age when I was starting to get into Skip Beat a few years ago. Sounded like a good manga but they made the right decision to discontinue it, I had no idea about the writer
I want Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo released in a vizbig edition, all 28 volumes in 3-in-ones just like they did with Dragonball, DBZ, Inuyasha and Vagabond. They can call it the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobook: Bo-Bobo edition, and it will outsell One Piece. Thank you.
Though not all Jump titles, I'm still sad for Drakkun, Ultimate Muscle, Bastard!!!, and Bio Boosted Armor Guyver...as these were also discontinued before their hiatus'.
I’m 26 now. In middle school Beet The Vandel Buster was one of my favorites. I used to always check the volume out from the libraries. I was disappointed when it went on hiatus. Had a dope concept. I really considered it HxH’s twin back then. I had heard it came back awhile ago but never was able to find it. Sad. Glad to hear it actually did come back. It probably won’t be the same though. I’ll have to let it go.
Since Oda confirmed that One Piece is closer to its end, I'd love to see a 3in1 or a treatment like FMA got. I'd love to already own the series, but since I don't have much space, I can't justify owning the single volumes
I didn't think anyone knew about Beet the Vandal Buster! I found the first volume randomly at a goodwill about 5 years ago and then had to buy the rest immediately. I need the rest so badly! Also i need a reprint of REBORN stat!
Have you watched the anime? the manga is better, but some of those episodes have got animation that sort of resembles Naotoshi Shida. I think he might have worked on some of it.
I want Reborn to be brought back, It was one of my favorite series and I remember reading the final chapter in school, I do also hope it can be brought back with the anime doing the last two arcs.
Would love a Guyver: Bio Booster Armor Viz collection. I don't even know how to collect the manga since there were comic version released and different sub titles used. Just give me a big ol manga book of Guyver!
the only few manga's I wish had been finished that I own is 3x3 eyes, highschool of the dead I wish it still went on but I don't know if they would have been able to do a third hardcover collection. 3x3 eyes though one of the first anime's I watched and made me want to buy the manga to finish the story and see what happened but english just barely goes past the 7th ova
Gintama is probably my favorite series of all time and Gintoki is my favorite protagonist ever. Never actually followed another Shounen after Gintama finished in Japan
Bo-bobo is the big one that I want to get another shot at its full series getting printed. It was one of my favorites to read in the U.S. Shonen Jump magazine and I was frustrated that I was getting only part of the story. I've tried reading translated scans online of the parts that Viz didn't release and they're all in really rough shape.
I would love to see REBORN and Strawberry 100% be reprinted. And while I'm at it, have Eyeshield 21 reprinted in 3 in 1 volumes because that series is SO hard to find the first 5 volumes for these days.
Any early 2000s sports manga I would gladly accept a reprint for. In fact one is coming for slamdunk at the end of the year oh and an official English printing of diamond no ace
It's still so weird to me that Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer are Shonen Jump titles, considering they're definitely more at home in the seinin category. Chainsaw Man seems like it'd run a lot better in something like Champion Red.
I never knew Reborn didn't get a full English manga release, but that is probably because I experienced it through fan translations on a pirate website like I still do with a few series that aren't getting reliable official English releases. Plus I was a teenager with no money when I read Reborn so...
That's why it never got a full release - not enough ppl bought it. Weak library sales due to the "gun to the head" aspect of it and people didn't like the translation as well.
I feel like when I tell people about Kurohime, no one knows anything about it, no have they ever heard of it. It is great to see someone else bring it to light, it has a really good story. Another Manga that I loved reading back in the day that is similar to Kurohime was - The Legend of Maian. Sadly the last chapter ended on a cliff hanger, which sucks. I believe since it was doing worse than it's sister Manga - Freezing - that it was just scrapped.
I love Reborn 😍 read it almost twice. I agree with you that it doesn't have that much recognition, it should have more for sure. I live in Italy and we have all 42 volumes so have faith
I think I've tried getting into Reborn a couple times but never got too many chapters in before other manga distracted me away. On a different note, I've tried to read Spriggan a few times and the chapters/volumes are so scattered that I've never been able to find the full series even via scanlations...
@@watchforever1724 I've tried to find Spriggan multiple times but each website I find only has scattered chapters. Never found one place with the full series in order.
Ichigo 100% was such a great series. I managed to pick up 13 of of the 14 volumes in English so I was pissed when it was discontinued. Luckily there were English scanlations online so I managed to read the rest. The set I have, I'm sure, would go for a ton on eBay.
From what I recall Beet the Vandel buster, (I don’t recall which- either the writer or illustrator) was in poor health and was the reason that beet went into hiatus status.
I got into Reborn after playing J-Stars I watched a good amount of the anime and heard the anime doesn't cover the hole series I thought I'd get into that Manga but read they stopped releasing it so I couldn't read the full thing which sucked so I hope they do bring it back I'd love to read it. And 3 in 1 I think would be great would make it easier to collect a long series like what they did with the original Yu-Gi-Oh series not to long ago On a side note I'd also love for them to re print Ultimate Muscle I want to read that but prices online for it are nuts
Oh, I thought that last one was gonna be Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido Arc. Don't think most people even knew about it. They translated a few chapters on the website but after the creator got arrested they dropped it immediately & there wasn't even a volume released since they only translated 3 or 4 chapters before that.
As a black teenager who wasn't entirely as selective as with my "anime consumption" as I am now as a 30yo, I was def into Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo both the anime and I bought that single volume It was just so nice to see a "black" anime character that didn't look low key racist like Jinx or Mr Popo.
Wouldn't he be more racist looking though? I mean, he literally was stereotypical looking disco black dude who was also the literal star of a comedy manga. With him being involved in a lot of the gags and skits. Mr Popo and Jinx meanwhile aren't even treated as comedy nor are they supposed to represent black people. Mr Popo was literally a genie. Why do you think he had a turbine and genie clothes? And Jinx is based on a sub-category or gyaru style ganguro like how they made Mr Mime based on a mime.
I actually argue against Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo being offensive as If anything historically, the reality of our world is worse. I noticed a possible reference. Japan has a huge disco and jazz culture and in current times known American black artists have done collaborations with Japanese artists. When it was first introduced it wasn’t even seen as commercially viable. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Being comedic and non sensical it shouldn’t be subject to cancel culture as he is arguably one of the few heroes depicted in such a style and isn’t even a real person anyway. Look it isn’t perfect, but considering the content of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo seems to reference the work of Ronald Duncan and Vic Moore 2 under appreciated black martial artists Below is a Wikipedia article of Hip hop and its progress and social issues of the culture. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_hip_hop
@@sakuraryuji01 That wasn't the point I was making. When he brought up Mr Popo and Jinx, a character not even related to blacks and a character based on a style that appreciates dark skin look and fashion are somehow racist but says Bobobo wasn't when he is literally a black looking character whose the butt of the joke and your supposed to laugh and also cross dresses a lot in the skits (looks at Tyler Perry) which I thought people considered bad? I was simply point out the double standard.
Kurohime sounds super interesting :) I’m gonna try and check it out. Because it was never fully released in English is this something the Viz app would have or would I have to find unofficial translations?
I will honestly support the next project that the Artist to Act Age does because they made the best decision and didn’t chase the ¥¥¥. I hope all manga fans will support them as well! I honestly loved her art! I know this didn’t get any English prints but I wanted more from Mx0 I’m sad that series had to “end”
The sad thing about Reborn is the fact that they'd just hit the biggest arc when they discontinued it. Hopefully it'll get some reprints and a possible remake/continuation of the anime.
You talking the biggest arc of the anime or are you referring to the Bermuda arc?
@@uzuchihanasuke1221 The manga translation stopped just before the future arc.
It wasn’t super poor
@@natileroxs5226 The manga went all the through to the Bermuda Arc/End
It's OK you can giggle while you read the synopsis for Bo- Bo -Bo
yeah i dead when he read that with that straight face
lol 😂
I wish they would reprint Zatch Bell too. That one stung the most, since they stopped releasing the volumes and stopped dubbing the anime halfway.
A man by own heart. I own volumes 1-9 but its so expensive now.
They don't own it anymore Kodansha has it
Dude same! It is so hard to find copies for a reasonable price
Gash Bell is the most underrated and underread manga of all time
He’s talking about Shonen Jump imprint though and Zatch wasn’t of that imprint.
I feel Reborn is prime material for an anime remake, and if it does happen, Viz is definitely going to rerelease it and probably finish it
I mean Shaman King got it so maybe??
Probably
I really hope it gets an anime remake
I mean there's are several Old anime that needs a remake asap . Anime like Kekkaishi , The Law of Ueki and more

I think the reason Gintama just didn't get that popular was most likely due to the fact that as popular as manga is, most manga that sold well enough in America were thanks to their anime adaptations being popular. Gintama's anime not only didn't have a dub but more importantly it never aired on US TV (which shit on TV and dubs all you want The Big 3's initial popularity was thanks to them having dubs and airing on TV) and even IF people got into it most fans at the time watched anime that weren't episodic and had epic continuing stories, something Gintama wouldn't have for hundreds of chapters/episodes. Obviously now most know how good Gintama is, but it's just one of those series that America wasn't ready for when it came out.
Apparently it was partially dubbed midway. I watched some if it, and the human did not transfer well at all. Sad for such a great show
@@happyglassesgirll4742 There are actually 3 English dubs. There's the fist movie, then in 2017 there was a dub of the season from 2015, and then in late 2019 the first 49 episodes got a new dub on Hulu. The 2015 season's dub is genuinely good and I will stand by that. The other two dubs you're correct about and are bad.
Also from the fact that some jokes required knowledge of Japanese history, pop culture or even just understanding the language (various puns, tongue twisters, etc) which would not have been easy to translate to a western audience.
@@tt18sp94 I do think there're enough jokes in Gintama that make it still funny for a western audience. I still think the biggest problem is the fact that it was an episodic anime and came out at a time where all of the Big 3 anime had the caveat of "Just wait till "X" amount of episodes then it gets good" with Gintama that "X" amount of episodes being like over 100
@@n-riv8101 I think it's the 50+ episode mark when people say it "Gets good" but I see why that's off putting for some people.
Still waiting for that mx0 official English physical release
I really enjoyed this video and I do believe some of these would definitely come back with the boom in the popularity of manga and the general increase sales number in general.
I would say they aren’t going to get these titles back real soon because of printing logistics during this pandemic. Hopefully all goes well very soon and they would be in a situation that allows the releases to be printed adequately.
Out of these I’d definitely want Gintama to continue.
It’s not Shounen Jump but I’d definitely want Saiyuki Reload to be re-released. They literally had one more book to release in English. One! They brought back Saiyuki as a deluxe recently so hopefully they’ll do the rest.
Love the hard work you put in this video. Really shows a lot of polish
Here in Italy, Act-Age 4 had already been printed and scheduled to be released in September, but the publisher (J-Pop) decided to discontinue the series immediately, have the copies pulped and stop selling/distributing volumes 1-3.
I mean there is a reason why that happened
I wish they would continue Beet. I really enjoyed what’s been released.
Love your videos keep up the good work. Always learn something or find something new to read/collect.
As an Argentinian, it's fun to see Ichigo 100% being mentioned when we had it translated from start to finish.
Im pretty sure it went out of print long ago not because it was cancelled but because no one knew of its existence but a manga called cirque du freak in enjoyed reading it my 8th grade year and recently found the spanish raws so i can finally finish it
Beet Volume 12 ends in a cliffhanger! I’m still pissed! This was one of the only manga at my school’s library!
I have fond memories of Kurohime. I never finished it but I guess I'll be doing that now. Thanks for bringing back those memories I really remember enjoying it as a kid.
gintama is goated
Yeah I agree
As a teen growing up, the monthly release of Strawberry 100% at my favorite Borders were something I always look forward to, since manga was my way to splurge. When I did notice that vol. 15 didn't get released as scheduled, I thought it was just something that they have missed and it will be back next month. I waited for another 3 months to realize that the series got canceled and it just got me very depressed.
I still own these volumes till this day, as well as the only vol 15 that was released outside of Japan, the German Vol. 15. Somewhere deep down, I really hope that they will release the last 5 volumes in English for me to finally complete the missing set.
I remember Beet I always wondered what happened to it back when I was younger. I would love for it to make a comeback.
Its a shame that viz hasnt reprinted these titles in years, hopefully they can do so one day. I also hope one day we will get physical english prints of mangas like medaka box, beezlubeb from the 2000s. There's also some 80s and 90s ones that need a localisation i think
I would be perfectly fine with 2 in 1s for Bobobo would be even more awesome if they got Yoshio Sawaii to draw new covers per volume.
Such great stuff that needed more support
reborn was one of my favorites back in the day id love a reprint
Still waiting for reborn to be reborn 😢😭
A hidden gem in SHONEN manga
This video was so cool! 😀😊 Your videos was so amazing as always! :)
There are more titles on Viz Media that had discontinued because it had a poor sale,that manga was on hiatus and etc etc :'(
Damn, Kurohime was such a great series. A females Dark Schneider or Demon Eyes Kyo, who fights against the Gods and finds love along the way. The art was top tier. Even though it was rushed, the ending was satisfying enough.
Psyren is the true unspoken tragedy of Shounen a truly iconic series that never got its flowers. Should have gotten an anime adaption.
This could just be me, but I feel like maybe test the waters with a digital-only release and see if the numbers are there. Have the chapters free but if enough read?
Reborn is great! Only problem i had with it was the end. Some extra chapters and actually being decisive would have been good.
I have read a lot of manga and watched even more anime and Reborn is one series im planning to add to my shelf.
Man it has so much potential if it wasn't axed. The origin of the Rings, expanded techniques for the power system, more powerful mafia families to fight, etc etc
I agree with the two of you
I was interested in picking up bo bo bo , as learning material because contextually the situations are weird, but I think it would be easier to read in Japanese. I haven't even thought about the English release, like a collected edition, or a couple would be pretty interesting.
I remember seeing Act Age when I was starting to get into Skip Beat a few years ago.
Sounded like a good manga but they made the right decision to discontinue it, I had no idea about the writer
I want Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo released in a vizbig edition, all 28 volumes in 3-in-ones just like they did with Dragonball, DBZ, Inuyasha and Vagabond. They can call it the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobook: Bo-Bobo edition, and it will outsell One Piece. Thank you.
Though not all Jump titles, I'm still sad for Drakkun, Ultimate Muscle, Bastard!!!, and Bio Boosted Armor Guyver...as these were also discontinued before their hiatus'.
Ultimate musical is technically a shonen jump title just not in the main magazine anymore
I'd love to see Reborn, Beet, and BoBoBo.
I’m 26 now. In middle school Beet The Vandel Buster was one of my favorites. I used to always check the volume out from the libraries. I was disappointed when it went on hiatus. Had a dope concept. I really considered it HxH’s twin back then. I had heard it came back awhile ago but never was able to find it. Sad. Glad to hear it actually did come back. It probably won’t be the same though. I’ll have to let it go.
Since Oda confirmed that One Piece is closer to its end, I'd love to see a 3in1 or a treatment like FMA got. I'd love to already own the series, but since I don't have much space, I can't justify owning the single volumes
@@rabbidpanda2731 Are those hard covers? Because if not, I don't want them. That's why I brought up FMA as an example
The fma hardcovers are only one Volume though
I mean I’m fine with the book 📕 edition
I didn't think anyone knew about Beet the Vandal Buster! I found the first volume randomly at a goodwill about 5 years ago and then had to buy the rest immediately. I need the rest so badly! Also i need a reprint of REBORN stat!
Have you watched the anime? the manga is better, but some of those episodes have got animation that sort of resembles Naotoshi Shida. I think he might have worked on some of it.
I want Reborn to be brought back, It was one of my favorite series and I remember reading the final chapter in school, I do also hope it can be brought back with the anime doing the last two arcs.
Would love a Guyver: Bio Booster Armor Viz collection. I don't even know how to collect the manga since there were comic version released and different sub titles used. Just give me a big ol manga book of Guyver!
Loved this video. Thanks
Wish they continued Bobobo, there’s even a Bobobo time skip manga too that we never got and it was never animated
the only few manga's I wish had been finished that I own is 3x3 eyes, highschool of the dead I wish it still went on but I don't know if they would have been able to do a third hardcover collection. 3x3 eyes though one of the first anime's I watched and made me want to buy the manga to finish the story and see what happened but english just barely goes past the 7th ova
Gintama is probably my favorite series of all time and Gintoki is my favorite protagonist ever. Never actually followed another Shounen after Gintama finished in Japan
Bo-bobo is the big one that I want to get another shot at its full series getting printed. It was one of my favorites to read in the U.S. Shonen Jump magazine and I was frustrated that I was getting only part of the story. I've tried reading translated scans online of the parts that Viz didn't release and they're all in really rough shape.
Definitely would love to see more Bo-BoBo and Gintama and have always been interested in reborn so that would be cool too
I would love to see REBORN and Strawberry 100% be reprinted. And while I'm at it, have Eyeshield 21 reprinted in 3 in 1 volumes because that series is SO hard to find the first 5 volumes for these days.
Any early 2000s sports manga I would gladly accept a reprint for. In fact one is coming for slamdunk at the end of the year oh and an official English printing of diamond no ace
It's still so weird to me that Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer are Shonen Jump titles, considering they're definitely more at home in the seinin category. Chainsaw Man seems like it'd run a lot better in something like Champion Red.
Crazy how you mention Gin Tama because I been seeing a lot of reprints in Barnes and Noble lately
I never knew Reborn didn't get a full English manga release, but that is probably because I experienced it through fan translations on a pirate website like I still do with a few series that aren't getting reliable official English releases. Plus I was a teenager with no money when I read Reborn so...
That's why it never got a full release - not enough ppl bought it. Weak library sales due to the "gun to the head" aspect of it and people didn't like the translation as well.
Yeah I was like that too but I was aware that it wasn’t available in print since 2016
I literally got all the volumes of Strawberry 100% yesterday, so I might just pick up the rest in Japanese.
What did u pay for them. I just need 6-9 and 12
@@hfurno20 I got the entire English set for $275 on r/mangaswap. Good luck find the rest, my friend.
I feel like when I tell people about Kurohime, no one knows anything about it, no have they ever heard of it. It is great to see someone else bring it to light, it has a really good story. Another Manga that I loved reading back in the day that is similar to Kurohime was - The Legend of Maian. Sadly the last chapter ended on a cliff hanger, which sucks. I believe since it was doing worse than it's sister Manga - Freezing - that it was just scrapped.
I love Reborn 😍 read it almost twice. I agree with you that it doesn't have that much recognition, it should have more for sure. I live in Italy and we have all 42 volumes so have faith
I mean once a remakes comes it could gain more popularity
man I haven't heard of Beet in a long time. I still miss that manga.
I think I've tried getting into Reborn a couple times but never got too many chapters in before other manga distracted me away.
On a different note, I've tried to read Spriggan a few times and the chapters/volumes are so scattered that I've never been able to find the full series even via scanlations...
Did you try online for spriggan but reborn definitely an annoying supporting cast
@@watchforever1724 I've tried to find Spriggan multiple times but each website I find only has scattered chapters. Never found one place with the full series in order.
Not enough love for Bobobo.. that series was done dirty... I’d love to hear viz explain why they did what they did.
Ichigo 100% was such a great series. I managed to pick up 13 of of the 14 volumes in English so I was pissed when it was discontinued. Luckily there were English scanlations online so I managed to read the rest. The set I have, I'm sure, would go for a ton on eBay.
I'm so sad about Beet... I still have the original run. I wish I could find some fan translations
From what I recall Beet the Vandel buster, (I don’t recall which- either the writer or illustrator) was in poor health and was the reason that beet went into hiatus status.
I got into Reborn after playing J-Stars I watched a good amount of the anime and heard the anime doesn't cover the hole series I thought I'd get into that Manga but read they stopped releasing it so I couldn't read the full thing which sucked so I hope they do bring it back I'd love to read it.
And 3 in 1 I think would be great would make it easier to collect a long series like what they did with the original Yu-Gi-Oh series not to long ago
On a side note I'd also love for them to re print Ultimate Muscle I want to read that but prices online for it are nuts
Technically reborn is available online just not on viz
Oh, I thought that last one was gonna be Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido Arc. Don't think most people even knew about it. They translated a few chapters on the website but after the creator got arrested they dropped it immediately & there wasn't even a volume released since they only translated 3 or 4 chapters before that.
Last I heard beat was in the seasonal magazine Jump SQ Crown along with Blood Blockade Battefront: Back 2 Back and D.Gray-Man
As a black teenager who wasn't entirely as selective as with my "anime consumption" as I am now as a 30yo, I was def into Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo both the anime and I bought that single volume
It was just so nice to see a "black" anime character that didn't look low key racist like Jinx or Mr Popo.
Wouldn't he be more racist looking though? I mean, he literally was stereotypical looking disco black dude who was also the literal star of a comedy manga. With him being involved in a lot of the gags and skits.
Mr Popo and Jinx meanwhile aren't even treated as comedy nor are they supposed to represent black people. Mr Popo was literally a genie. Why do you think he had a turbine and genie clothes? And Jinx is based on a sub-category or gyaru style ganguro like how they made Mr Mime based on a mime.
Bobobo is even more stereotypical than Jynx or Popo.
I actually argue against Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo being offensive as If anything historically, the reality of our world is worse.
I noticed a possible reference.
Japan has a huge disco and jazz culture and in current times known American black artists have done collaborations with Japanese artists. When it was first introduced it wasn’t even seen as commercially viable. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Being comedic and non sensical it shouldn’t be subject to cancel culture as he is arguably one of the few heroes depicted in such a style and isn’t even a real person anyway.
Look it isn’t perfect, but considering the content of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo seems to reference the work of Ronald Duncan and Vic Moore 2 under appreciated black martial artists
Below is a Wikipedia article of Hip hop and its progress and social issues of the culture.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_hip_hop
@@sakuraryuji01
That wasn't the point I was making. When he brought up Mr Popo and Jinx, a character not even related to blacks and a character based on a style that appreciates dark skin look and fashion are somehow racist but says Bobobo wasn't when he is literally a black looking character whose the butt of the joke and your supposed to laugh and also cross dresses a lot in the skits (looks at Tyler Perry) which I thought people considered bad? I was simply point out the double standard.
I'm actually super surprised that Viz never released all of Reborn no wonder why it's not available in the SJ app.
Kurohime sounds super interesting :) I’m gonna try and check it out. Because it was never fully released in English is this something the Viz app would have or would I have to find unofficial translations?
Never knew Reborns mangaka was the same as Deranged Detective (which I am finger crossing that we get a physical release of)
I will honestly support the next project that the Artist to Act Age does because they made the best decision and didn’t chase the ¥¥¥. I hope all manga fans will support them as well! I honestly loved her art!
I know this didn’t get any English prints but I wanted more from Mx0 I’m sad that series had to “end”
i really really love beet the vandal buster. its a series that means a lot to me. i really hope that they publish the current volumes.
